Respraying my white stock clubman panelvan before christmas. Is getting 12g295 head, extractors and exhaust from a van I bought of ebay this week.
The van is being painted midnight blue, and is getting Antons Webasto sunroof put in it, redone in a beige/ tan colour.

My question is, the van has contessa wheels, and I will polish up the outer rims, but what colour should I paint the inside (honeycomb part)?

I was possibly thinking same as car or maybe white?

Same as car would be nice, unless car is red then it looks a bit silly. I reckon same colour as roof is best IF you paint the roof a different colour. I reckon contessas look nice if you paint them metallic silver, like most alloys are.

I did the silver recently on my own.

They look great but are pretty boring. Gold only suits some colours (green for example)...barely IMHO.

Go Gunmetal!

I'd say it's between the top three with the Gunmetal coming out slightly on top.
